[aloneincolours]

What a crazy video, I love it! :D

[MrNIO888]

i got brain damage now!!!one of the most sexellent sound ive ever heard so far!!greatr feeling....thanks so much for it!!

[thefloydsound68]

the first time i saw this video i was on lsd and it was so fuckin weird but amazing

[Marco33185]

GEANT

On devrait montrer ce genre de vidéo aux jeunes d'aujourd'hui qui sont "révolutionnaires" et qui traitent les gens de 50/60 ans de vieux cons dégénérés et pourtant qui ont fait ces vidéos délirantes à souhait !

[camelfilters99]

Baustelle Großmarkt heute Ostspange Yachthafen Saarbrücken, Jo hast du den Bart immer noch ?

[qrzbatterie]

exzellent und genial!

[reverb1974]

Just got this album on vinyl! The rest of the album is quite heavy, but good. This track just about sums up the video! Fucking amazing!

[greenie48]

@reverb1974 you´re right; I also think that this is was best track on the album; but that ´s ssssssoooooooo long ago:

maybe you´ll ike my new stuff too: me and my follow-up band to dies irae green wave (since 1975) just released our new video 2011.

let´s make up & be friendly -green wave 2011

[Euro3urger]

whoa there this is trippy man ! and i was born in germany august of that year too oh wow man was that guy pouring a bucket of pure acid on that guy at 2.32 and i think i remeber seeing the van before aswell... maybe i just did to much acid as a kid lol ...just rember kids takeing acid on building sites is just not cool you dig ! very good stuff loved it thanks for the post !

[Byggavdelningen]

Helt otrolig. Bland det bästa jag sett från 70-talet.

[CABUBBO]

one word: fantastic!

[MrAeterna]

so genial, mehr viel mehr davon jetzt sofort...

[skitch88]

ugley! but trippy

[victorsaint2]

there was a time when tv showed cool things...

[tinyninja10]

LMFAO

[Bananiolo]

4:21 he's dead.. lol

[Blasterwastelander]

Yeah... sure they did very nice trips...:D

[Peskygee1]

Thanks so much!! This album is a frequent player for me. First time to see them. Fantastic! I loved Scorpions Lonesome Crow for decades. I was blown away when I discovered this disc a few years ago. Influenced early Scorpions for sure.

[nbelj]

Brilliant! Hawkwind meets Gong and together they kick Embryo in the nuts. Then Embryo runs home to its mother, who gives the band ice cream; Embryo gets brain freeze and the result is Dies Irae. Sehr gut!

[intelouise]

Is this the same version as the one on the album (First)? This sounds...better. Wonderful song, just great!

[CindyLou1994]

what the hell?

I don't like this.. :D

[upsetMISFIT]

amazing band First is an awsome album

[khilaow]

TERRRRRRRIFIC!!!!

[aarowsmith]

Brilliant video, I remember this when it was being filmed, I remember it like it was yesterday, 1971 good times and a good year.

[TextFreeley]

4:10 These guys were definately in touch with their feminine sides. It would be cool to see a rap act do this.

[TextFreeley]

Das ist gut.

[AzathothianBrew]

Most excellent song, but Jesus, what a strange fucking video.

[ELNITO2009]

great stuff, thx a lot !

[seesselberg]

Four of the strangest looking guys ever , but , fuck me , what an album !

[stipeeeema]

peace of mind. just great!!!!

[BohemianConspiracy]

Jesus... i don't remember that i wrote my previous post... and i cant even understand what my previous post means... i was probably 2 stoned...

That's Good Music...very experimental & adventurous.

Us-we look beyond the surface...this is deeep music

Its not made 4people who judge by z cover and 4people with a plastic brain...its made for explorers (nearly) without fears... it will b fun to pirate&put this in z middle of an MTV r'n'b program videos!

imagine their surreal stupor!!

[Pighood]

Krautrock PWNS.

[elephanta2]

sounds like Ash Ra Tempel...

[hoschi367]

Einfach geniale Idee sich auf einer Baustelle mal ein bischen auszutoben. Kommt ganz schön trippy rüber.

[tompaah7503]

This has to be the greatest piece of music ever performed

[Joachim0109]

Thank you for the compliment!

Bassplayer DIES IRAE

[buchla300]

Superb piece of music

[hurrpah]

This is a trippy piece of krautrock/ hard rock. I have to say this one´s the best on the album though..

[huerequeque1]

Bohemian Conspiracy,

Please shut up. Just shut up. You sound like a complete tool.

Cool video, Orangefunk. Are you sure this was Plank produced?

[orangefunk]

according to the Dies Iraes page it was...

"ENGLISH: Talent scouts from the Hamburg PILZ-label discovered this band from the South-West of Germany 1970 at their gig in the Bremen "Lila Eule" club. The LP"first" and two X-mas-songs on the sampler "Heavy Christmas" got recorded by Conny Plank in Hamburg 1971 within 25 hours(!) gigs in France, Switzerland and all over Germany followed, 1971 video "trip" (Saarländischer Rundfunk, Saarbrücken)"

[BohemianConspiracy]

@huerequeque1 waooow i'm surprised really i never thinked that my oooolllddd comment will have that impact... and by the way what's your prob huerequeque1 (is it your name from Peru?)... i really don't understand your excessive reaction... i 'm not sure of what i was talking before... it was about the metal version of Dies Irae i guess... but well let's pass the river ...if you don't want to talk 'bout it

[ludvigmunthe]

This was someting our forfather was quite used to, that cosmic spirit that sometimes mauls into shatters...

[BohemianConspiracy]

I've got just a dirty idea... why don't we send this video to the pure republican virgins of the deeeeeppp south of yankland !??

...ok it was stupid... i can imagine the aftermath from here... i can hear the brigade boots of the virutal western police with a mission to destroy this neo-communist video...

ok ...i put my little dirty harry back into my pierced pocket...

[Boxcutterfacelift]

its a great reissue, i totally recommend getting it, if you can find it... but like i said, the song on the album is quite different than this.

[zitothebandito]

Yeah, I completely agree. The rest of the album is completely different than this song..

[Boxcutterfacelift]

im actually kinda mad that the album version doesn't have that awesome reverbed drum sound....

[mattiasemil]

amazing!

[ludvigmunthe]

Far out!

[popart64]

Straordinari, ma chi sono questi? Uno pensa che ci siano solo i Pink Floyd, per cortesia qualcuno mi faccia sapere qualcosa, io di Trip conoscevo solo il gruppo di Jo Vescovi. Mamma mia che video

[COGENTCOG]

ciao, guarda che il nome del gruppo è Dies Irae, Trip (senza l'articolo) è il nome del brano; hanno fatto solo un album nel '71 su etichetta Pilz, ristampato nel 2004 dall'etichetta Ohrwaschl

Gran bel brano comunque, i musicisti tedeschi facevano cose incredibili in quegli anni.

[eyechord]

nice dangocam, remember to pause mode next time.

[kisekio]

nice! no one produce something nowaday, wht a pity

[jonnythrombosis23]

love both sound & film footage

[emerni]

soopah

[sixfeetjenna]

So, I guess they had a field day...:)

[thetourle]

i love this

[blipblip88]

Monty Python meets The Monkeys...and a lot of reverb

[threeby8887]

And with much better music IMHO.

[leilapev]

this is great. i am heavily into that particular brand of experimental german music but i havent been able to find anything by dies irae, after searching through european record stores for the past couple years. anything still in print, do you know?

[COGENTCOG]

sorry, I've only read this now...their only album has been reissued in 2004 by Ohrwaschl label

[rockabeatinboogie]

I am stoned, this is amazing!!! A reefer smoker for 35 yrs!!!

[swans1997]

Watching this video, makes me wonder if The Damned got their inspiration for their Alone Again,Or video, that they did for their cover of the Love classic.

[BohemianConspiracy]

yes and it was probably orange juice or coffee even not a soft marijuane stuff... it seems to be a little bit stronger...hehe

[andimags]

I think I'm going to kill myself now, because there is nothing better than that.

[rekluziv]

After all these months and videos and hundreds of thousands of comments, this is still my favorite comment.

[LADYxGORE]

i will now smoke lol..thanks

[tomt45]

many thanks...

[sheetsofeaster]

Dang, this is unbelievable!! Was this ever officially released or is there any way to get a DVD or something of these Die Deutschrock Nacht footage?!?

[orangefunk]

It was a TV broadcast in Germany in August so head over to thetradersden and download all 6 DVDs!! All well worth it...

[mohairsammy]

THANKS for posting this, OrangeFunk. I needed my mind blown in a bad way!

[crotchbat]

*drool*

[daschtrois]

fantastisch

[seesselberg]

My God ! How obscure is THIS ??!! One of my favourite ever Krautrock tracks , I never knew there was a film to go with it !! Many thanks for posting this x

[orangefunk]

No problem.. it was part of the recent 10+ hrs of German Rock broadcast on WDR. :)

[seesselberg]

Wow - any Faust ?

[orangefunk]

No Faust, a lot of Can, Amon Duul II, Tangerine Dream, Frumpy, Kraftwerk... most of it seems to have made it's way onto youtube though.. :-)

I'm gonna add more stuff over the next few days.
